Digital X-Ray Machine

The Animal Medical Center is proud to have the most advanced digital X-ray unit used in veterinary medicine. Our Sound Technology unit takes much crisper images with better detail than traditional films. It also gives the vets the ability to magnify specific areas, alter contrasts, invert images and compare multiple images side by side. We are able to email the digital X-ray images and/or put the digital images on a CD disk for you in the event you need a second opinion from a specialist. All of these benefits allow the veterinarians at the AMC to correctly diagnose and treat your pet’s issues.

Dental Suite

Oral and dental disease is the most common disease our pets face. Recent research by the American Veterinary Dental Society reveled that 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have oral/dental disease by the age of 3 years old. At the Animal Medical Center of Itasca, oral and dental health is a top priority. The Dental Suite was specifically designed for animal dentistry. Preventative dental cleanings are the most common anesthetic procedure performed at the AMC of Itasca. Cleanings include: Scaling tartar/plaque, polishing, fluoride treatment and a comprehensive oral examination. In the event that diseased tooth/teeth are found on examination, the veterinarians are able to perform X-rays and oral surgery may be necessary.

Dental disease not only can be a source of pain and discomfort when chewing, it can also be a source of infection that can spread to other areas of the body. When dental disease is observed, the doctors at the Animal Medical Center will discuss the appropriate testing and therapies for your pet.

Class Four Laser Therapy Unit

Therapy laser is not a new technology in veterinary medicine and has been available at many specialty animal hospitals since the 1980s. Recent advancements have made this tremendous therapy available at local pet clinics. The Animal Medical Center of Itasca is excited to provide this non-drug, therapeutic alternative for our patients.
